Hi, my name is Caragh and I recently took part in an exchange to France. I will be here for three months. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for each month I am here.
I came on the 28th of February. My host family is very nice. They don’t have any English and, while it can get confusing, I’m glad they don’t because I have to talk in French the whole time which has helped me improve.
The school here is very big compared to the one at home. The classes are very quiet compared to the ones at home as well. The teachers are a bit more strict but are very nice and helpful. The classes are also a lot smaller. Here you choose a subject area to focus on; Literature, Science or Economics, and are then put in a class. This class, however, gets split into smaller groups for certain subjects. For example the whole class is in Geography-History but is split into a small group for English.
I really like going to school here and I can feel my French has improved a little bit already.
That is all I have to say for now. Thanks for reading.
